Stower,

I love this one: Neuer weather-beaten Saile 1613, Thomas Campion, England.

About 30 years ago I bought a book called An Elizabethan Song Book, compile by Noah Greenberg, W H Auden & Chester Kallman. I used to play the tunes on my flute. Never Weather-Beaten Saile was one of my favourites.

Thomas Campion's tunes, as well as those by John Dowland, were my favourites in the book.

My favourite CD at the moment is Estampies & Danses Royales (Hesperion XXI, Jordi Savall) which are tunes from a 13th Century manuscript.

I wish I could go to your concert. A bit far to go from Australia!
